Hi these are all good questions.

For non-incision questions:

1. Procedure: Approximately 30 ~ 45 min
2. Whole Process: 7 Days Until Stitches are taken out.
3. How long after the procedure will my eyes gain normal use?: Your vision will not be affected, but looking somewhat presentable and recommended recovery would be 2 to 3 days.
4. How long after does the scar disappear? Scars are significantly minimized by non-incision method.
5. How many post opp visits? 2

4. How long after does the scar disappear? There will be a scar and it will fade overtime, but it depends on the individual and your lifestyle. Could take up to a year or two to be dramatically unoticable.
5. How many post opp visits? 2

Best Surgeons? Honestly this is one the most common and straightforward procedures in Korea. If you go to a reputable clinic (the clinics listed on this site), you’ll be in good hands. From our experience, ‘best’ means something different for everyone because everyone’s values and goals are different. Your values sound like you want a clinic that gives good personal attention and has a translator or doctor you can communicate with that will give you facetime. If that’s the case maybe a mid-size clinic with English staff would be better fit. But note since this is a very common procedure, the consult times with a doctor are probably going to be 15 to 20 minutes max on average.
